Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you very much to all of the witnesses for coming today. It's been a very enlightening conversation.
Dr. Misra, I'd like to start with you because I am interested in some of the work you've done. I reviewed the paper you wrote in 2018, “Composites from renewable and sustainable resources”. I'm interested in the fact that when we talk about commercially available bioplastics, we're generally talking about hybrids, both bio-based and fossil-based composites.
You noted that 100% of bio-based plastic composites have limited success in some applications. I am wondering if you could elaborate for all of us on where you see the future for the 100% bio-based plastics, and what obstacles you see standing in the way of their mass adoption.
